The median age at presentation was 32 y and approximately two-thirds of patients were female. Clinically, only two-fifths of patients had features of CNS involvement. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and imaging abnormalities were noted in 46 patients each. Twelve (23.5%) patients were diagnosed with definite-category tuberculous meningitis. Presence of an infarct significantly correlated with neurological features. Mantoux positivity correlated significantly with the presence of choroid tubercles, CSF changes and brain tuberculomas.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This is the first study to endorse Wallgren's observations in immunocompetent adults.
